UPDATE: The video for this webinar is now available.

We’re pleased to share the notice of funding opportunity for the Native American Research Centers for Health (NARCH) Planning Grants (PAR-24-041). This program supports Tribal entities, including federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native Tribes, Tribal colleges and universities, Tribal health programs, and Tribal organizations, to plan and conduct preparatory work for developing competitive NARCH S06 applications. The NARCH Planning Grant awards aim at expanding the reach of the NARCH S06 program, which supports health-related research, research career enhancement, and research infrastructure enhancement. 

The receipt date for NARCH planning grant applications is once per year, in July. The first application receipt date is July 8, 2024.  

Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to attend our informational webinar and to share this information with anyone who may find it of interest. We will have a Q&A session at the end of the webinar.
